EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES.
A Journalists Experience-In Lima-S
Thomas-vasiting Volcanoes.

A Journalists Experience-In Lima-St.
demonstrating Volcanoes.
Ihave never been able to clearly explain
to anyone the difference between the
shock of an explosion and that of an earth
quake, though it ought to be easily COM
pretended. The one is sharp and sudden;
the other prolonged and deliberate. The
first earthquake experienced was in Cali
fornia. hardly noticed it, except for the
fact that everyone in the street got under
the arched doorways Of the buildings,
which are the hardest parts Of house to
shake down. The second was also in San
Francisco. was lying on a sofa with
very elastic springs, and the shock was so
severe that it gave me sensation like sea-
sickness that lasted for half an hour.
I was riding a donkey out in the
suburbs of Lima one day when the little
beast stopped short, pointed his ears for
ward and refused to bulge. l felt a
slight quiver, and a whole row of wall on
both sides of the street in front of us came
tumbling down. went back to my hotel
and found all the crockery smashed This
earth current, for it was really that, made
o sort Of highway ruin through the mid
die of Lima, leaving third of the town
on either side of its banks untouched. In
St. Thomas, during a stay Of several
months, I do not recall day when we did
not have at least one shock, and some
times as many as three. They were very
rarely as severe as those on the Pacific
coast, however. The country is volcanic.
AS you sail down the coast from Panama
to Valparaiso the level shore is backed by
a row Of mountains, dotted with chimney
like peaks, some of which still distil a
perpetual vapor into the hot sky. Traces
Of volcanic action are everywhere ap-
parent. The whole area underneath must
be bubbling sea Of lava, and as the un-
easy pot seethes its tremor shakes the
earth.
The same volcanic characteristics ex-
tend through Mexico and California up
into Washington territory, British Colum-
bia and Alaska. Volcanoes, extinct and
active, are to be traced from pole to pole.

Bismarck,s xron Constitution,

It is plainly due to his Herculean frame
and iron constitution that Bismarck has
outlastsd 80 many statesmen and diplo-
matists who were younger than himself.
Not only has administrative, diplomatic,
and parliamentary work Of the most
arduous and incessant kind ever per-
formed failed to kill him, but he has sur
vived mode Of life to which millions of
idle men must have long ago succumbed.
According to his English biographer,
Bismarck has been the hardest liver of
his day and generation. He has always
been O great eater, deep drinker, and
heavy smoker. In his earlier days he was
what the Germans call Q "shsin smoker" "

A Note on Watering Potted Plants.

In the operation of watering potted
plants, persons not practically familiar
with plant culture are apt to make
serious mistakes. Cultivators find
by experience that an excess of water
at the roots is very injurious to almost
all plants, and hence it is usual to
direct that great caution be used in
the application of water, especially
in winter. The result is that frequent
ly the opposite extreme is fallen into
to the great injury of the plants.
From the moment that the soil be-
comes so far dried that the fibers of
the roots cannot absorb moisture
frem it, the supply of the plants food
is cut off, and it begins to suffer.
Some plants can bear this loss of
water with more impunity than
others; some again, and the heath
family among the rest, are in this
way soon destroyed. The object in
watering should be to prevent this
stage of dryness being reached, at
least during the time plant is grow
ing, and at all times in the case OF
those of very rigid structure; at the
same time, that excess which would
sodden the soil and gerge the plants
is also avoided. Within these limits
the most inexperienced persons may
follow sound directions for the ap-
plication OF water with safety. But
whenever water is given to pot plants,
enough should be employed to wet
the soil thoroughly, and the difference
between plants that require less OF
more water should be made by water
ing more or less frequently, and not
by giving greater or less quantitie.
